If DC ever offered to let me write whatever book I wanted, Legion of Super-Pets #1 would be on the stands so fast... Cei-U! I summon the REAL "beast mode!" Why waste your time with DC Comics when they have an entire line of Super Pets illustrated kids books from Capstone. DC Super PetsKids will actually get to read these!

The store I work at goes through those DC Superpets books like there's no tomorrow. Seriously, they practically fly off the shelves. In addition, I've got several friends who have autistic kids, and one of my customers works in a support organization for kids with autism, and they love the hell out of these. In an era where the two big publishers seem hell-bent on abandoning any kind of child audience, it's great to see kids show such enthusiasm for stuff like this.

Nobody knows the diversity of the universe like Silver Age Superman. For years he went on regular patrols throughout the galaxies to help civilizations and occasionally test them with cruel stunts. It seemed every alien race knew about Superman. He had access to The Green Lantern Corps and The Guardians Of Oa. He had access to Hawkman's Absorbascon. He had access to The Legion Of Super-Heroes database. In a nutshell, Superman knew the universe quite well One of the great story elements of Silver Age Supes was The Bottle City Of Kandor. Rescued from Brainiac, Superman kept it in his Fortress of Solitude like an ant farm. He'd pretend concern about their predicament and vowed to come up with a way to enlarge them and release them into the world. Actually, he would have sent them to an orphanage like he did his cousin . Superman would moan and moan about tiny Kandor as they fed his ego, looking up to him like a god (they looked up to everyone, Krypto too) For over 20 years, Superman kept telling the Kandorians to be patient So-Can someone tell me why Superman couldn't just find a nice planet for the tiny Kandorians and take them out of the bottle? How humiliating being bottled. Ask Barbara Eden, she didn't like it. Superman must have known thousands of planets that would be comfy for the Kandorians no matter their size. Size don't matter in the universe, it's how you use it. Size is all relative. He could have picked a planet with a yellow sun and they;d have superpowers too. Or maybe, that's why Supes didn't do it. Just maybe, that is the reason Anyway, he could have released them and come back later and made them bigger when he figured out how to do so. Either that or he'd have to find a rather large orphanage. Or kill them because they knew his identity Actually, If he found them a planet all to themselves, would it even matter that they were shrunken? As long as they were out of the bottle and their entire species was that size, I don't see why Supes would ever have to worry about making them normal.

Without overthinking it, on another planet, if they weren't super,they might get crushed by gravity or threatened by space anteaters or something.

Yeah, but out of the whole galaxy, there had to be somewhere suitable. Hell, he could pick out a spot then go into the future and see if it worked out for crying out loud!
I never thought about it that hard, but yeah, 'truth, justice, and the American Way' doesn't really go with having a bottled city of tiny slaves.
That's even worse that Reed Richards not fixing Ben Grimm!

I can safely say this ... You can call Wonder Woman a Jerk too ... Because of her stupid Aphrodite Law of where Men are forbidden on Paradise Island! How a Man knows that and he's needs help?

The Adventures Of Superjerk.....when he was a boy So, Clark Kent meets another lad in Smallville who seems to have all his same powers but suffers amnesia. But they become best buds and Clark even thinks he's found his "brother". Names him Mon-El because they met on a Monday and might be related (would have named him Larry Lipshiltz but he didn't remind Clark of all his girlfriends). Then Mon-El gets sick and might die. Gets his memory back as well and knows he's a different alien type who is vulnerable to lead. Superman can't save him. What can he do? Send him into the Phantom Zone to be a ghostly spirit and live among the worst criminals, murders, rapists etc. Nothing to do but avoid these monsters FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARSI REPEAT: FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARSIf I were given the choice between death and Superman's "brilliant" solution, I'd probably choose a quick death. Was that a jerky solution or not? The years go on and on and Supes gets "choked up" about poor Mon-El A thousand yeas later The Legion (thanks to Brainiac) frees Mon-El. A time-travelling Superboy was a member.You'd think Supes would act a bit sheepish and embarrassed ("Great Krypton, you mean Mon-El has been in that ghost prison I sent him for a thousand years?-My bad, should have found a nice orphanage for him instead. Or a nice bottle" )

In Superman's defense, jerkishness worked both ways especially during the Silver Age. Whose idea was it that the festivities surrounding Superman Day in Metropolis should commence with a re-enactment of the destruction of Krypton? That would be like Gotham celebrating Batman Day with a recreation of the brutal murder of the Waynes. "How do you think Chief O Hara did as Thomas Wayne, Caped Crusader? I'm not fully convinced that he truly captured the anguish in your father's eyes myself, so if you'd like us to take it again from the top I can put down this cake and go over and ask him".

I never thought about it that hard, but yeah, 'truth, justice, and the American Way' doesn't really go with having a bottled city of tiny slaves. I guess it depends whether it's the American way before or after the late 1800s...
